The heat from the race

March 5th (US time) is "Super Tuesday," a crucial day for US presidential elections.

The term was first used in 1988 when Republican leaders in the Southern states of the United States decided to hold elections on the same day to give an advantage to their favored candidate.

Leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties subsequently realized that holding a large number of early party meetings and primaries would help voters determine which was the most promising presidential candidate for each party, thereby increasing unity and cohesion within the party ahead of the presidential election in November. Achieving good results on "Super Tuesday" is often a powerful boost to any presidential candidate's campaign.

Alongside the focus on "Super Tuesday," the American press also concentrated on issues of concern to American voters. A Gallup poll conducted in February showed that an increasing number of American adults believe immigration is the most important issue facing the United States today. This was evidenced by the fact that both leading candidates, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, visited the southern border of the United States on February 29th, amidst the ongoing debate surrounding border issues and illegal immigration.

Next is strengthening the economy . According to a recent report by the Pew Research Center, nearly 75% of Americans surveyed consider strengthening the economy a higher priority than any other policy goal. In addition, there continues to be heated debate on another hot topic: the age of presidential candidates. The Hills newspaper suggests that, in reality, Americans are increasingly favoring older candidates, a trend that has been evident over dozens of presidential elections.

Besides the issues of concern to American voters, US authorities are also working to detect and prevent potential threats to the upcoming November general election, ranging from voter manipulation and vandalism to cyberattacks aimed at undermining the legitimacy of the election… Although there is still more than half a year until the official election day, the intensity of this tense race can already be felt.
